I'm looking at a 1989 26' Nova Spyder that seems to be in very good shape. 454 Magnum with Bravo 1 Drive, Silent choice exhaust, Swim Platform, cuddy with sink and porto-potty, snap in carpet, trim tabs, Eagle trailer, $15000.
Can anyone tell me if this seems like a good value if the boat is in as good a shape as it appears in the pictures? I plan on running the boat on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river. Seems like it might make a good Poker Run boat.
Thanks,
Tom

Twins or single?

Single

Will take rough water well but with a single it wont be winning any races unless you get soem serious hp.
Its big for a 26ft. Most came with twin 350s, friend of mine had one with twin 300/350s, ran 60mph and could take some rough water without beating you up.

good looking boats. there was a red one with new interoir , twin 350s really nice looking on ebay 3 months ago. he could not get 12k. with the trailer. i wanted to look at it but it was in misouri i think.

Current own currently has a 21pitch prop on it but said the previous owner had a different prop and claimed 58 by GPS. I'm not that concerned with speed.

price seems high I just bought a mint 30 sonic with twins for 15 grand

Price does seem high.

Price is high for a single. Many, many better buys out there in this climate. 20K can get you a flat deck 35' Cigarette with mild twins if you look hard enough.

If your in the market I would sell my Nova II with twin SBC's-Alpha's for much less then that.
